    Behind the solutions we build

    Deeper than a portfolio card: the challenge, how we thought about it, and what changed.

    Manufacturing

    Transforming a complex business workflow into one connected platform

    • Product engineering
    • Workflow automation
    • Web application
    1. The challenge

      Multiple teams were managing production, inventory and purchasing across disconnected processes.

    2. Our approach

      We mapped the complete operational workflow first, then designed a connected digital system around it.

    3. The solution

      One web platform where an order, a stock level and a purchase request are the same record.

    4. The outcome

      Better visibility, reduced manual work and a unified operational workflow.

    Healthcare

    Bringing registration, clinical and billing records into one patient view

    • Health information systems
    • Integration
    • Data
    1. The challenge

      Patient details were re-entered in each department, and records rarely matched.

    2. Our approach

      We traced a patient’s journey from front desk to discharge and found where data was being lost.

    3. The solution

      A shared record with role-based views, connected to the systems the hospital already used.

    4. The outcome

      Fewer duplicate entries and a single, current view of each patient.

    MADDS Legal & policies

    Privacy Policy

    Updated Draft for review

    Your information, handled with purpose. This draft explains the information collected through the MADDS website, why it is requested, and how to contact us about it.

    Information you choose to share

    When you send an enquiry or project brief, we collect the details you enter: your name, email address and message, together with any company, phone, country, industry, service interests, budget or timeline you choose to provide. Newsletter sign-ups collect your email address and subscription status.

    Please do not include passwords, payment-card details, identity documents or sensitive personal information in general enquiry forms. Only share information about another person when you are authorised to do so.

    How that information is used

    • Enquiries and proposals: to understand your request, reply to you and discuss a potential project.
    • Project communication: to coordinate agreed work and maintain relevant business records.
    • Optional updates: to manage a newsletter subscription you request. You can ask to stop these messages at any time.
    • Site operation: to maintain forms, investigate technical problems and protect the website against misuse.

    Submitting an enquiry is not, by itself, an instruction to subscribe you to marketing messages. Any permission needed for an additional purpose should be requested separately.

    Website technology and service providers

    Security cookies help the site's forms work correctly. The website also loads fonts and interface libraries from external services, including Google Fonts, Cloudflare's cdnjs and jsDelivr. When your browser requests those files, the provider receives connection information such as your IP address and browser details.

    Hosting, email and technical-support providers may process information needed to operate the service. The live provider list, hosting locations and any international transfers must be confirmed before this draft becomes a final notice. Read the Cookie Policy for more detail about website storage.

    Retention and security

    The proposed approach is to keep enquiry and project records for as long as needed for the relevant conversation, agreed services, record-keeping duties and dispute resolution. Subscription information should be reviewed when someone unsubscribes. Specific retention periods and deletion processes still need to be confirmed by MADDS.

    No website or transmission method can be guaranteed completely secure. Access controls, hosting safeguards and backup arrangements should be reviewed against the information being handled.

    Your choices and requests

    You may contact us to ask about information you supplied, request a correction or deletion, or withdraw a newsletter request. Rights and exceptions depend on the applicable law and the circumstances. We may need reasonable information to verify that a request relates to you before releasing or changing records.

    For a privacy question or concern, email info@madds.io with the subject “Privacy request”. This contact route does not limit any right you may have to approach the relevant authority.

    Children and changes to this notice

    The website presents business services and is not intended to collect information from children. Contact us if you believe a child has submitted personal information. When this notice changes, the revision date will be updated so you can identify the latest version.

    Draft for review. The legal entity, processing grounds, providers, retention schedule and applicable rights must be confirmed before publication as a final policy.
